EDGE: PlayStation 4 Revealed

Development sources with working knowledge of both next generation consoles have told us that PlayStation 4 will be more powerful than the next Xbox, will ship with a redesigned controller and launch by the end of the year in Japan and the US. PlayStation 4’s European launch will follow in early 2014.

It's not just Sony . It's probably difficult for manufacturing reasons already ... plus everyone want to dump stock of their older consoles and some time is needed for "western taste" approved launch titles to be ready .

Ohhhhhhhhhhh. I called the controller. It made made sense to put the touch pad there, because it's the only real space where it can fit. Hopefully they widen the space to about 3 inches and take the curves off the bottom of the Dual Shock 3 to make a modest sized pad, and not cramp it in there. The start and select buttons aren't used often and can easily be placed at the bottom of the controller.

I will preorder it this time around because I know for sure it will sell out again, maybe even faster.

I remember when I was in highschool and I called my dad while in school to see if he could find any gamestops near his work that had any left before launch day. Skipped school the next day to scout some stores with no luck. Except the guy who said "Ticket #1 son, I'll give it to you for 5 grand!" XD

Sucks for PlayStation gamers in Europe...i think there launching north america before 2014 because of xbox and they dont want it getting a head-start in america because xbox is really popular there and its not in Europe..

"A new Share button on the controller will, when pressed, launch a new feature that will allow screenshots and video to be distributed online. The PS4 hardware will continually record the most recent 15 minutes of onscreen action (with no processing penalty, claims our source), which users will then be able to edit and broadcast via the Internet."

Goodbye Hauppauge :-(

Sold!

Hmn...AMD processors.... So that is why NVidia made their own portable device...they were boxed out by Sony and M$.

I love my ps3 and cant wait for ps4 but if Europe have to wait MONTHS for it to get release here while Japan etc have had it for months like with EVERY other playstation console release then i think its ridiculous and out of order. People trying to think of the positives.. what positives? Unless you can read Japanese and get one imported there are none. (will still be buying one but feel like the aren't as interest in Europe)

I am glad to hear of this feature but I said goodbye to my Hauppauge some time ago. It's still on the desk but Avermedia Live Gamer is the way to go. I get 1080p out of the PS3, I can stream games live on Twitch, and I can lay down all voices of everyone including me directly in the recording. It doesn't do 5.1 sound and that's the downfall but everything else is top notch.

It’s clear Sony has designed a system that, on paper, outperforms Microsoft’s next Xbox. One source familiar with both platforms tells us that in real terms Sony’s console is “slightly more powerful” and “very simple to work with”.

Especially if they go with 8 GBs of ram with the same GDDR5 ram that is supposedly already in the system at 4GBs. They will make it a far more capable machine than anyone ever thought the PS4 would be.

of course it is... lol sheesh, All Sony is trying to do is force M$ to pull their card. A tactic i'm glad their doing. Lets get this thing going. Cause BF4 is COMING 64players more destruction more guns and modes. Hopefully dice can fix the HIT DETECTION. Just look at BF3 on PC currently and thats what next gen will look and feel like!!!

Internet, minds, and probably the whole world are going to blow up on the 20th. Honestly I think they will reveal it on the 20th. Followed by close doors showing at GDC and a full blowout at E3.God this has me so HYPED UP. Let's see them exclusives baby =D!!

Everyone just buy a pc with a gtx 680 and 8GB ram with an i5 2770k, I was the biggest Sony whore and I had enough of the performance and even the ps4 specs are nowhere close my specs, YOU WANT NEXT GEN NOW BUY A PC WITH A GOOD GPU AND RAM

But you have no next gen games.......just high res current gen games...consoles mostly lead the charge in new gaming innovations in multiple genres, So while you have "Next Gen" PC specs, you won't have next gen games til PS4 and x720 games get ported to PC

Dude there's one uber advantages consoles have over PC. Optimization!!!! It doesn't matter what kind of CPU/GPU you have if developers don't try and push the hardware. As far as visuals are considered the 360/ps3 did very well at staying within range of high end PC's. Now that the ps4 is going with more modern an easy to use tech I can fully expect ps4 and the nextbox to keep up for a great deal of time. Unless PC games start using 8gig of ram for just textures within the next 3-4 years then next Gen consoles will do just fine for years because we know revs will let nothing go to waste.

I'm really hyped for the PS4 but people really need to reel it in. It's gonna be great but don't get tooooo ahead of yourself. The graphical jump isn't going to be enormous and I just hope people keep that in mind before next gen games are officially shown.

I'm excited for the new features, that constant recording things sounds awesome. I love making videos.

Anyways, I'm totally hyped for this reveal. I con only imagine what the launch titles are going to be. I think that Sony has learned it's lesson from the PS3, and I know they'll bring out some good stuff early.

Guess work purely on the euro launch. Because the ps3 launched later in EU they are thinking this will which wont happen. The reason the PS3 launched so much later in the EU is because of lack of blu-ray diodes nothing more. Nothing to do with factories. Also it uses PC tech which is manufactured in EU also so should be easily available to produce in the EU. I can see early Japan launch but cannot see EU coming 2014 and Japan and US coming 2013.

Also late 2013 is prime selling point so it would be madness not to launch then in europe there 2nd biggest market. US is 3rd.
